1995 GEO Tracker Steering Problems

“Steering colume tilt locking mechanisum failed and the colume droped. Had I not been alert vehicle could have swerved and caused an accident. Dealer says steering colume has to be changed but they are no longer available. Wants to put a used one in. It seem to me that it is a manufacturing defect. If not why are there none available any longer? Maybe because of a silent recall! This vehicle has benn towed behind a motorhome for 25,000 miles of it's total 53,567 and has not been out of the high position more than two dozen times since I owned it because I am a big guy and need the room.”

“While driving about 55-60mph driver lost control of vehicle and caused it to flip from front to back. Shoulder seat belt was torn, and did not hold consumer in vehicle. Driver was ejected from vehicle, and did not survive the crash.”

“While driving in reverse out of driveway when steering wheel came apart without a prior warning, steering was completly lost. The cause for the steering wheel to come apart was poor design and poor welding.”

“Steering wheel suddenly and completely breaks away causing complete loss of steering. Cause: weld with no penatration and poor design. I can't imagine a more serious safty defect.”

“Consumer has a problem with the steering wheel. Steering wheel should have a weld holding it to the hub which is fastened to spine, and a nut coming down to hold the spine , it doesn't cover.”
